American Captain — Edison Marshall

FLASHING SWORDS! BLAZING ROMANCE!

From Massachusetts to Malta to Tripoli and across the sands of the Sahara, the young American sailor braved the perils of three continents to tame the heart of a beautiful, aristocratic Englishwoman. But his tender dreams were shattered when an English lord betrayed him to the Barbary pirates.

In the turbulent years that followed - enslaved by a wealthy pasha, among the Bedouin tribesmen, challenging the wilds of Africa - he burned to exact a terrible revenge against his betrayer...

Against the father of the temptress who had bewitched his very soul!
